God's Way of Saving You









"Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, we have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham." Luke 3:8

In Jesus' day, the religious leaders relied more on their family line than on their faith for their spiritual standing and relationship with God. That's why many of John the Baptist's hearers were shocked when he said that being Abraham's descendants was not enough to be acceptable with God. The relationship with God is not handed down from parents to children. Everyone has to establish a relationship with God through faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9). Don't rely on someone else for your salvation. Put your faith in Jesus, and ask Him to give you the grace to exercise your faith by acting on it on daily basis (not weekly).

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

Have you ever asked your self, "How did I become a Christian?" The verses above will give you a beautiful answer⏤it is as close as your own heart and mouth. People think it must be a complicated process, but it is not. If you believe in your heart and say with your mouth that Christ is the risen Lord, you will be saved⏤you'll become a Christian who possessed the life of God which is eternal (John 3:16; John 5:24).

Act now before it will be too late. Your life is just like a vapor that appears for little a time and then vanishes away. Death is just like a thief, you will not know exactly when it will come.

*Repent and believe and be saved; and eventually, you will be worshipping and serving the living God wholeheartedly.

*A change. The change is always evidenced in three elements.
     (a) The intellectual element, a change of mind. 
     (b) The emotional element, a change of heart. 
     (c) The volitional element, a change of will.
